    This year was the year that solidified reading for me for the rest of my life. At this point, I had a group of friends and we all read books and talked about them and would watch movies that were created about the books. Books because a fantasyland that I enjoyed. The Maze Runner Series was a huge series for me that year.

    This year I was reading for assignments in school and then I would also read for fun when I was done, I remember my mom would try and take my books when I got into trouble because I wouldn't do my work around the house I would just read all the time. At this time I started reading books with much deeper meanings.
